Chapter 5 Cultivation Method
In the fisherman’s profession, most of them follow the method of a master leading an apprentice.
The master teaches the apprentice various tricks and taboos, and even takes the apprentice to worship different water gods and dragon kings.
Li Sheng, on the other hand, relied on his good water properties to get started on his own, and heard many tips from hearsay.
That’s why I was at a loss after encountering the water monkey.
Although this old man looks ordinary, his previous performance on the river has proved that he has some abilities.
If you can really recognize your godfather and learn his unique skills.
Taking a step back, the other party indeed saved his life today.
With such kindness, even if the other party does not teach him any real skills, it is indeed not too much to support him until he is old.
As expected, the old man's attitude improved a lot when he heard that Li Sheng was willing to provide for him until he died.
"My name is Qin Chuan'an, and he was a famous fisherman in Tianhu County back then."
"It's just that as I get older, my energy and blood decline, so I don't go into the water so frequently."
Then Qin Chuanan began to tell Li Sheng what he knew.
…………
[The ‘Ghost Baby Tree’ in the area under your control eats the weak creature ‘Venomous Snake’, and its growth progress is +0.25%. 】
With this period of devouring growth, the Ghost Infant Tree finally grew to a new stage.
The second branch also completely completed the mutation.
[The growth progress of the Ghost Baby Tree reaches 25%, and the second branch begins to mutate. 】
As the other green branch gradually turned into gray-purple, some inconspicuous spikes also grew on it.
But what surprised Xu Ke was that compared to the previous one, this second branch seemed to be stunted.
Not only is it much thinner than the first one, but it also doesn't look as fierce as the previous one.
Swinging it with all its strength, it only stirred up bursts of mud and dust.
Xu Ke, who was greatly disappointed, could only attribute it to the fact that the second branch grew too impatiently and was not as powerful as the previous one.
But Gui Yingshu seemed to sense Xu Ke's disappointment and hurriedly conveyed an idea, asking Xu Ke to give it a chance to use it.
“Okay.”
Not long after, a weasel that strayed into the jungle was discovered by the Ghost Infant Tree.
The gray-purple branches were pulled away at lightning speed, but only scratched a layer of the weasel's skin.
No obvious damage was done at all.
On the contrary, the weasel received a whip and jumped up in fright.
Then he turned around and tried to escape.
Just when Xu Ke was about to speak, the weasel suddenly tilted its body and fell to the ground after taking only two steps.
He began to twitch violently, rolled his eyes crazily, and foamed at the mouth.
“This branch is poisonous?”
Xu Ke immediately understood what the ghost infant tree’s unclear ability was.
Indeed, during the process of growing this second branch, the Ghost Baby Tree absorbed countless snakes, insects, rats, and ants.
With their toxins gathered together, it is normal to have such a branch with strong toxins.
Gui Yingshu then explained his ability in detail with great difficulty.
It turns out that the toxins in this second branch are mainly paralysis.
It can make the opponent's hands and feet become weak, lose the ability to resist, and even make the opponent's body become paralyzed, twitch and faint.
But this does not mean that this ability is not lethal.
As long as the toxin accumulates to a certain level, the opponent's heart will even stop beating and he will be suffocated to death on the spot.
“Yes, one is mainly focused on pure destructive power and killing power, and the other is focused on poison attacks.”
Xu Ke couldn’t help but be curious about this ghost baby tree. , what other abilities will it have if it grows again in the future?
You must know that the real characteristic of the Ghost Baby Tree is that it can bear miraculous fruits.
The Ghost Baby Tree has not yet reached the mature stage of flowering and bearing fruit.
At this moment, Xu Ke also felt that Li Sheng from the wooden house had returned home.
But what is surprising is that this time Li Sheng came back with three large packages of black ointment.
As soon as he came back, he asked his wife to boil water and boil medicine for him. "Why, this man is sick?"
Xu Ke didn't take him seriously at all.
Unexpectedly, Li Sheng immediately applied the prepared ointment on his body, then jumped into the boiling water and began to hold his breath.
The scalding hot water made Li Sheng's skin red, but it also helped him accelerate the absorption of the medicinal power in the ointment.
At the same time, this ointment also protected Li Sheng from being burned by really hot hot water.
At first Xu Ke thought it was a folk remedy that Li Sheng got from hearsay.
But after listening carefully to the conversation between the two, I realized that Li Sheng was 'cultivating'.
"Ms. sir, I'm afraid... you won't cook yourself."
Testing the temperature of the water, Li was scalded by the hot water and hurriedly retracted her fingers.
Li Sheng, on the other hand, gritted his teeth and held on in the bucket while explaining to his wife:
“Don’t worry, my godfather will not lie to me.”
"As the saying goes, snakes have their own paths, and rats have their own paths. This is the way of cultivation of the people of the Shui family, which is hard to find."
"If I hadn't promised to support him until he died, and my talent is very suitable for this practice, my godfather would never have taught it to me easily."
In addition to the evil cultivator who killed himself, Xu Ke It was also the first time I saw a seemingly orthodox method of cultivation.
It also gave Xu Ke a preliminary understanding of the practitioners in this world.
“I thought that only monks and Taoists had a way to practice, but I didn’t expect that even fishermen have specific ways to practice.”
“Then scholars, blacksmiths, doctors, etc., don’t they also have it? Maybe they each have different methods of practice?”
From Li Sheng's mouth, Xu Ke also learned some common knowledge about cultivation that he learned from his new godfather.
Although there are seniors in each profession who have figured out their own methods of practice and mastered various magical powers.
But it is still extremely rare to have the qualifications and talent to embark on spiritual practice.
Like the "fisherman's" method he practiced, he needed to use ointments and various practice methods to continuously exercise his lung capacity and water quality.
You must continue to temper your flesh and blood to make it strong enough.
When the time comes, swimming underwater will even be several times faster than running on shore.
You can even hold your breath underwater for an hour without taking a breath.
As for seeing things underwater, fishing and catching shrimps is even more about looking for things.
According to Qin Chuanan, he only needs to learn the fisherman's method to become a 'fisherman' in the true sense.
You no longer need to be afraid of water monkey attacks. Even if you are pulled into the water, you can easily drive it away.
A highly accomplished fisherman can even drive away water monkeys, so that rivers and lakes no longer have to fear the water monkeys.
Qin Chuanan was in this state back then, so he relied on this skill to become famous in Tianhu County.
Unfortunately, as I got older, my Qi and blood declined, and the various magical changes that had occurred in my body gradually weakened.
Nowadays, it is no longer in its heyday, so it is naturally impossible to drive away water monkeys for others.
While speaking, Li Sheng had absorbed all the ointment and climbed out of the bucket with difficulty.
"Huh..."
Li Sheng followed the techniques taught by Qin Chuanan and checked his ribs.
Sure enough, I found a very shallow water-shaped tattoo.
That is a sign that your body is full of qi and blood, which naturally emerges with practice.
It is said that you have to wait until all the tattoos appear before you can officially get started.
At the current speed, Li Sheng roughly estimated his progress.
“It will take at least half a year to get started.”
“Not only can’t I go fishing in the past six months, but I also have to spend money to buy expensive ointments from time to time.”
A long sigh. , Li Sheng couldn't help but worry about where he would get the money.
Now the family doesn’t have much money left, and my wife is still pregnant.
While tossing and turning, Li Sheng couldn't sleep for a long time.
At this time, Xu Ke also saw an opportunity.
"How to practice? It seems that Li Sheng is worthy of attention."
